2014-11-12 - Alma Jane, Sabang, Philippines

28.7m - 32 min - Dived with Conan Fagan from Scandinavian Divers Inc

Wreck dive on the Alma Jane. The wreck is largish and quite open - both the sides and deck have large openings so it is possible to swim through with little obstruction above. Arrived early to avoid the crowd: as we were ascending, about 10 divers were on their way down. We descended on a line, swam around the outside, then through the interior and up on to the deck. Saw sweetlips, masked porcupinefish, trumpet fish.
